Maine Bill Allows Authorities to Take Kids Away from Parents Who Resist Transgendering Children

A bill being debated in Maine’s state legislature would give authorities the power to take children away from parents who oppose allowing medical providers to impose “gender-affirming care” onto their children.

The bill, LD1735, is explicit about this startling new power.

In its summary, for instance, directly states, “The bill authorizes a court to take temporary jurisdiction because a child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.”

There seems to be no provision made for religious objection.

Parents would have no parental rights on the issue; either they allow their children to be exposed to dangerous and permanent transgendering drugs and surgeries, or they lose them to the state.

If the bill is passed and signed into law, Maine would join other states in eliminating parental rights in favor of the radical transgender movement.

A law passed last year in the state of Washington, for instance, prevents estranged parents of minors undergoing transgendering treatment from having any say in the medical treatment of their children.

In California, a law was enacted last year that forces courts to weigh conflicts over “gender-affirming care” in custody matters giving weight to the child seeking transgendering over parental opposition.

Also, in New York, Dem. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill that protects youths seeking transgendering in the Empire State, even if those children are from other states and are not citizens of New York.

Currently in Maine, they are going to be reviewing a Transgender Trafficking Bill, LD 1735, where in situations where parents who do not agree that their children should undergo this mutilation, Maine will accept the out-of-state minor and will not reunite them with their parents.

Why? Because the parents are deemed “unsafe and abusive” and the Transgender Cult calls this “life-saving care”.

Here is the best way to help stop this Transgender Trafficking Bill, regardless of which state you live in. We provided a fast two-step process, including sample emails. Deadline Wednesday, Jan 24 to submit your disgust.

Sen. Brakey,

As a long time Ron Paul supporter over in NH, I have also supported your efforts through the years, so I hope I can take just a few seconds of your time and urge you to vote against LD1735.

The idea that the state could, quite literally, traffic in minor children, and remove them from the custody of parents, to support what amounts to a social contagion, genital mutilation and mental illness is intolerable.

Please vote the Maine equivalent of NH's Inexpedient to Legislate, or whatever you need to do, to kill this bill.

Thanks for your time,

When I moved away from Maine it was lead by Paul LePage the guy who told the naacp to kiss his ass and had a budget surplus. It's hard to comprehend how bad it has got there in just a few years.

Parents better be prepared to protect their kids when the state comes to their house.

Bill killed.

Thank you Sen. Brakey.

Had the bill passed, there would have been no shortage of JBTs willing to follow and enforce their orders.

Maine Democrats Quietly Reintroduce Pro-Transgender Bill to Eliminate Parental Rights, Shield Groomers

WARNER TODD HUSTON 11 Mar 2024

Democrats in Maine have quietly reintroduced into a different committee the same pro-transgender bill that was unanimously defeated once already. The bill would in part prevent parents from being contacted or having any say in the transing of their children by school or medical officials and would serve as a groomer protection measure.

The bill, LD227, is very similar to LD 1735, which was killed in the Judiciary Committee in January.

Republican critics of the bill are blasting the provisions as anti-family and anti-child.

The bill prohibits “interference” between parents and children if a child requests an abortion or wants to undergo “gender-affirming care,” according to Fox News.

If the latest iteration is passed, the law would give sweeping license to the transgendering of children and abortions for minors whether parents agree with the procedures or not. The bill additionally protects any minor who enters the state from outside and would cause Maine law enforcement to prevent parents from being able to influence their children’s medical care if those parents oppose so-called “gender-affirming” care.

The bill is so far-reaching that 16 Republican Attorneys General from other states filed a warning to the Maine legislature not to pass the bill.

The Republican AGs called the bill “unconstitutional” for taking away parental rights and for automatically taking children into state custody, no matter what state the children come from, Fox News reported.

“If Maine pursues LD 227’s constitutionally defective approach, we will vigorously avail ourselves of every recourse our Constitution provides,” the AGs wrote in their letter to the Maine legislature.

The bill would shield law enforcement, schools, hospitals, doctors, and Maine politicians from lawful actions issued in any other state, and would block any legal recourse for anyone living outside Maine.

The left-wing LGBTQ lobby is praising the bill. Patience Crozier, the director of family advocacy for GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders (GLAD), lauded Maine’s attempt to shield patients seeking transgender care in Maine.

“I think we’re seeing across the country really horrible attacks on transgender people and on health care, which means that parents can’t get the health care they need for their children—which means providers are worried they’re not able to practice their craft,” Crozier said according to WCSH-TV. “I think, in Maine, where reproductive and transgender health care is legal, this bill is really important to state the values of Maine and make sure that we’re protecting our providers from those attacks from other states.”

But one Maine parent, Amber Lavigne, who appeared at the Capitol in Augusta, worried that LD 1735 and bills like it summarily cancel parental rights.

Lavigne’s own daughter was groomed into believing she was a transgender boy by a radical gay school counselor who gave Lavigne’s child chest binders and told the girl not to tell her parents about her new “gender identity.”

In a video posted on X, Lavigne said that she complained to the school and the school responded by giving “guidance” to the counselor to pull back on the grooming behavior. But if LD 227 were to pass, Lavigne said, schools would be barred by law from mitigating grooming behavior or even talking to parents about the issue.

Critics of LD 227 also blasted the Democrats for using a trick to slide the bill into the legislature without giving lawmakers or voters a chance to see what is in it ahead of time.

The bill was not published ahead of its introduction, but was instead introduced as a “concept draft bill,” according to Maine Wire.

The text was then submitted after the committee began deliberating on it. The text can be seen here, but it still has not been officially published to Maine’s legislative website.

I know what people should do about this, nothing.

Go about your every day lives as though everything is perfectly normal.

I still can't believe how fast Maine fell from LePage winning twice to this.
